Sponsored by The Kirkridge Retreat and Study Center:
“This is a virtual session in an ongoing 4-part series for families supporting with gender diverse children. Our focus will be on what “family” means within the context of the trans* and gender fluid life. We welcome families of all flavors – birth, adoptive, chosen – and family members of all ages, gender identities, and sexual orientations.
This session will focus on the challenges, hopes, and learnings of having a child who identifies as trans*, gender fluid, and/or gender non-conforming. Led by Dominick Petitto, M.S., NCC, together, we will share information and stories to help families connect amongst themselves and with others.
